    going to florida for a couple months

    We are fortunate to be able to do some traveling. I have had memberships at Cody and Sheridan Wy. I have shot at the Whittington Center in Raton NM, and a few times at the Hornady range in Grand Island, Nebraska. In Florida at the range North of Panama City Beach... but it is only a 300yd range...

    HIGH end 10/22 - No Expense spared

    Thanks, I am impressed with this little rifle. The barrel makes it so worthwhile.....for cleaning or swapping. The first group out of the Kidd SM with CCI SV was impressive......literally 3 shots (see attached) o dial and 7 through the same hole. The Kidd 2Stage trigger is incredible.....really...

    HIGH end 10/22 - No Expense spared

    I'm just an old guy that likes to shoot..... I was looking at getting a V22, but the prices I seen were 2K+, so I went with the Kidd Super Match because it was much less and barrel swaps are a so easy. (like one minute easy) I picked it up a couple weeks ago. It's got a Kidd /2 stage trigger. I...

    KIDD

    Here is sight in target... The rifle came with a 0 moa rail, so I installed the 20 moa rail, and the higher comb for the magpul stock. Then put the optic on. Shooting from bipod with a rear bag. I ordered a good selection of the ammo many of the members suggest works for them and will be doing a...

    I took three different 22LR brands/loads along with me to sight in. Some Winchesters from a 555 pack, a couple boxes marked Browning and a box of CCI Std Velocity.

    Rifle Scopes MSR or P4F???

    I have older eyes......and for me the MSR works best......I pick up the reticule quick (even on lower power) and does not bother me at longer ranges. I always wanted a SB or Premier, and the SB does not disappoint.....really like this optic. My shooting partner has a Premier with the XR2...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex AMG???? Thoughts reviews??

    I have one....put it on my 6.5 CM 20" Tikka CTR Stainless......all purpose for shooting steel, coyotes etc. I am pleased with almost every aspect of this optic. Turret locks are difficult to disengage and Zeroing or re-zeroing is is not as simple as my SB PM2 or my Bushnell HDMR or my NSX...

    Question for those that wet tumble

    de-cap......wet tumble with 3mm ceramic balls.....rinse, dry..... (gave up on SS pins because of potential risk of damage to rifle barrel if you miss one) the ceramic balls do at least as good of a job as SS pins for cleaning and no worries about missing a pin. This article is an alternative...

    55gr hornady Vmax in 22-250 1:14

    Anyone have any experience with the 55gr Vmax Hornady for a 22-250 with a 1:14 twist barrel. The Hornady manual says the 53gr Vmax will not stabilize in a 1:14........just wondering if anyone has experience shooting the 55gr Vmax. I have two 22-250's both have 1:14 twist barrels. Generally shoot...
